Anglers and golfers in the Wine Cellar’s 1st Annual Wine Cellar Golf and Fishing Tournament weren’t the only ones who won cash in the March 25-27 event.

From tournament proceeds, the Wine Cellar donated $5,000 each to the Edward Gartland Youth Centre and the Provo Hockey League to assist in meeting their daily goals and objectives.

“We hope that these donations allow both parties to further their efforts as they relate to sports and youth activities locally,” said Desmond Williams, the Wine Cellar’s sales and marketing representative. “The community of Providenciales has been patronising and supporting us since we entered this market in 1984, and we feel that it is only fitting that the Wine Cellar does the same by giving back.”

The Wine Cellar’s first fishing and golf tournament was dubbed a smashing success by residents and visitors. Tournament winners went home with a total of $14,400 in prizes.

“We are looking forward to hosting the 2nd Annual Wine Cellar Golf and Fishing Tournament next year and encourage other corporate partners to come on board as we aim to keep fun community events alive in Providenciales,” Williams said. “More supporters will mean larger donations for charitable organisations, so let’s all work together.”
